Canyonlands PRCA Rodeo Club

Rodeo has been a Grand County tradition for over 50 years. The rodeo in Moab has always been the result of a changing but dedicated group of volunteers who have tackled the time-consuming tasks associated with the event. Throughout the year many folks spend hours working tirelessly to make it happen. The club is a non profit organization. The Grand County Recreation Special Services District provides the major source of funding to produce this exciting event. Funding is repaid each year through sponsorship, ticket sales, merchandise & other sales. The Canyonlands PRCA Rodeo Club is working toward engaging our youth and building partnerships throughout the community so that this great tradition of rodeo can be carried on to future generations. Thank you for being part of that tradition!

Our Stock Contractor - Bar T Rodeo

The Bar-T Rodeo Inc. is a family owned and operated business founded over 60 years ago in Moab, Utah. D. A. Swanny Kerby - inducted into the Cowboy Hall of Fame in 1997, and his wife, Verda Kerby rounded up wild mustangs and range bulls starting around 1945. The Kerby's brought early rodeo to Utah and has furnished quality livestock in every "Superbowl of Rodeo's," the Wrangler National Finals Rodeo in every year since 1959. “Fifty years is a long time, but a man in rodeo really needs two lifetimes – one to get an outfit together and a second one to enjoy it.” ~D.A. Swanny Kerby~Swanny & Verda's son, Bud Kerby and his wife, Evelyn, purchased the Bar-T Rodeo Company from his parents and made the it one of the top rodeo livestock companies in the United States. Bud grew up as a rodeo man. From an early age he took care of the livestock and sharing the love of the animals. Bud competed in the sport as a saddle bronc rider and worked as a pick-up man for many years. Bud was one of the best during his years as a pick-up man. Behind the scenes, Bud and his wife Evelyn took care of the business for 30 plus years. Bud decided to start raising the company’s bucking horses. He purchased a roan stud C4 Roany and put him with some of the best mares the company owned. From 1983 forward, Bud took many Bar-T raised bucking horses to the NFR. Bud and his Dad Swanny were buddies. Best friends, they worked side-by-side building up the Bar-T Rodeo Company. Today, the company now known as the Bar T Rodeo Inc. owns over 200 head of horses all raised on the ranch out of the lineage of Roany. Bud Kerby passed away in October of 2010 and will be inducted into the ProRodeo Hall of Fame this year in July, 2013. "You are only as good as your word," "It used to be, a man's word was important in the old days." ~Bud Kerby 2005~Today the Bar T Rodeo Inc. is owned by third generation family members, Jeff and Wendie Flitton, along with their son, Cody Flitton, a fourth generation family member.Many family members participate in the growth and maintenance of the Bar-T Rodeo Inco, including Bud's wife, Evelyn Kerby, Sam and Kellie Addington, Lori and Martin Pierce all of whom love their family heritage and the sport of rodeo.
